King Crawfish

In King Crawfish, we watch the Cajun spirit being poured out on a communal table even as the wild harvest is diminishing. At the Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival we see everything Cajuns value take to the stage: their language, music, food, and crawfish.

As the film traces the thousands of pounds of crawfish served up at the festival to their natural habitat, the Atchafalaya Basin, fishermen from Catahoula tell stories of their fight to retain their way of life.
